50 Best Bars near Cheshire

“We were in the mood for pasta, but didn’t want to go out to eat (sick child). So, the Victorian House staff was so kind to let us order just sauce and of course—Nonna’s Meatballs to go with it. Oh. My. Goodness…the sauce is DELICIOUS and the meatballs melt in your mouth. 🍝 Thank you for the fantastic dinner, Victorian House!“

“Amazing local restaurant, eat here at least once a week, sometimes 2 or 3 times. My go to is the harvest Salad with the house balsamic vinaigrette (wow, it’s awesome), the Chicken Club is also really good. Great place to go and grab a beer as they have a great selection, and watch a game. Staff and ownership are amazing.“

“Just had my birthday there for 6 plus hours with family and friends everyone was amazing! I couldn’t ask for a better place to host an event“

“Best metal bar in all of CT.“

“I went to Smoke and Muddle for Music Bingo roughly two years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since! What started as a fun night out has turned into my go to spot. I’m there at least once a week, sometimes twice.

The atmosphere truly feels like home. The bartenders Robin, Hope, Crystal, and Andy are all amazing and attentive. They’re friendly, welcoming, and always make sure you’re taken care of. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and it shows in the service.

Robin has done a fantastic job owning and running this place. She’s built an incredible team and created such a great environment. The food and drink menu is awesome with plenty of options, and everything I’ve tried has been great.

Over time, what started as great service turned into genuine friendships with the staff and Robin. That kind of connection is rare, and it’s what truly sets this place apart. If you’re looking for fun events, amazing drinks, delicious food, and a spot that feels like home the moment you walk in — this is it. I can’t recommend it enough!“

“Great food experience! Haven't been here in years. I wasn't sure if COVID had changed things. Just the prices. My brother and I had burgers and beer. He ate dessert too. Burgers cooked as request. Pleasant and low key server. Perfect Saturday night supper. Not cheap eats anymore but moderately priced night out for two.“

“From the moment I stepped inside Bailey’s, I knew I was in for a treat. The delicious aroma wafting through the air immediately caught my attention. I couldn't wait to dive into their menu and try all the mouthwatering dishes they had to offer. And let me tell you, the food did not disappoint. Every bite was a burst of flavor, leaving me craving more. Plus, the portion sizes were extremely generous, guaranteeing that no one would leave Bailey’s hungry. But it wasn't just the food that stood out. The phenomenal staff at Bailey’s went above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable dining experience. Their warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel like a valued guest. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to offer recommendations or answer any questions I had.“

“I've been to a lot of bars in my life and this is my absolute favorite place to go. Everyone that works there is an absolute riot and I would go there just to hang out with them if for whatever reason they ran out of alcohol. I highly recommend Carmine's :-)“

“I have gone here a couple of times now just looking for somewhere laid back to shoot a few games of pool. They have a coin op table, Bartender (I think her name is Rachel?) is wonderful and makes great drinks. Locals/Regulars vibe for sure, but very welcoming.“

“Amazing food. Chef mike is OUTSTANDING.“

“I ordered a filled bagel and a cupcake. The service was very friendly and warm, and quick though there was quite a queue. The bagel was excellent, great taste, with a small side salad. The cupcake was really moist and beautiful, the buttercream very creamy, and tasty all-in-all, though very sugary! I would recommend this place for the excellent bagels and kind service, and the cupcakes for the ones with a sweet tooth. Maybe an idea for the future to have some sweet products that don't pack quite as much sugar, but I'm definitely coming back for another bagel!“

“The staff was great. I didn’t wait long at all for a drink . The music was awesome . Just all together a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.“

“Always an enjoyable meal and great atmosphere. staff is friendly and attentive.“

“It’s a cheap local dive lives up to what you would need from a watering hole. Inexpensive drinks, not pretentious, mainly plastic cups, good people. First time, walked in and had a small chat with a patron before the night was done. Plus, unlike some other aptly named Irish pubs, they do have Guinness *cough obrians*. Decent draft list too for a small local. Didn’t play, but seems like a good setup for darts too. I might not take a date or the wife for low key dinner and drinks, but after work or a friend for a cheap blow off steam evening? Absolutely.“

“Love the ciders every time I come here. And dog friendly too! Def my favorite ciders!!“

“Tonight we had dinner in the party room for a wedding celebration (for friends) and it was a GREAT experience. I've been here before but to see how kind, helpful and attentive the staff was- it was so wonderful! They even helped a bit with detail while we decorated and continuously congratulated the new bride and groom. Thank you all for a wonderful experience and the gifts you bestowed upon them as well. I will continue spread the word at how amazing you all are!“

“Cannot thank the staff, especially Debbie, Cheryl, and Christine for their amazing efforts in coordinating a dinner at Gaetano's following a funeral for our treasured family member. We could not have been more pleased with the accommodations, the food, and especially the service. We received many positive compliments from our family and friends. We could not have picked a better spot to gather. We are so grateful for the comfortable, supportive and positive experience we had during such a difficult time we were all going through.“

“Best pizza in the area……Friendly atmosphere.“

“Last week my family and i had dinner at Flair which is one of our favorite restaurants and Hector the owner told us his family bought Fratellis. We said we would come in this week snd try out the new restaurant. We had told Hector the we loved clams casino and he remembered and even though they were not on the menu he brought some to us from Flair. They were excellent. We also had the best chicken dish ever which was called chicken fratellis. It was very obvious that Hector and his family bent over backwards to ensure our experience was amazing and.......it was. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a fabulous meal and feel that you are appreciated. Thank again“
